 ===== IMPORT_FILES.BBS Stanza =====
-^ OPTION NAME ^ EXAMPLE             ^ DESCRIPTION ^
+^ OPTION NAME ^ DEFAULT / EXAMPLE     ^ DESCRIPTION ^
 | filesbbs    | filesbbs=files.bbs  | This option defines the filename of the files.bbs that the importer will look for.  If this option is not defined, "files.bbs" will be used automatically. |
 | uploader_name | uploader_name=Mystic BBS | This option defines the name used in the Uploader field in the database.  If this option is not defined, "Mystic BBS" will be used. |
-| update_files | update_files=false | If set to TRUE, the importer will compare the size of the file on disk with what is in the database.  If the filesize is different, it will be updated along with the description in the file database.  Enabling this option can add a significant amount of processing time to the import process. |
+| update_files | update_files=false | If set to TRUE, the importer will compare the size of the file on disk with what is in the database.  If the filesize is different, it will be updated along with the description in the file database.  Enabling this option can add a significant amount of processing time when working with very large file base listings. |
 | delete_after | delete_after=false | If set to TRUE, the importer will delete the files.bbs file after processing. |
-| desc_first | desc_first=0 | This option defines how the first line of the description is parsed.  If set to -1 then the importer will not look for the first line of the description on the line that has the filename.  If it is set to 0 then the importer will assume the description starts directly after the filename.  If set to anything else, the importer will go to the column and copy any text on and after it as use that as the first description line. |
+| desc_first | desc_first=0 | This option defines how the first line of the description is parsed.  If set to -1 then the importer will not look for the first line of the description on the line that has the filename.  If it is set to 0 then the importer will assume the description starts directly after the filename.  If set to anything else, the importer will go to the column and copy any text on and after it and use that as the first description line. |
+| desc_wrap | desc_wrap = true | If you are importing a files.bbs that has a filename and description on a single line Mystic will word wrap the description at 50 characters when enabled. |
 | desc_char | desc_char=%%|%% | This option defines the character that signifies an extended description line.  A blank value means a space character. |
 | desc_start | desc_start=3 | This option defines the column where the DESC_CHAR is found.  If the DESC_CHAR is found in this column, then all text afterwards will be imported as an extended description line. |

-==== Format #2 (AllFix?, Remote Access?, Others) ====
+==== Format #2 (?) ====
 This FILES.BBS format has the first line of the description directly after the file name without a fixed character position.  Each extended description line is fixed at column 14, so we configure a space character on column 13 to trigger an extended description.  Any example entry looks like this:
